People saying SSA is Tier 2 have lost their minds! Just because people play Sylvans now does not mean it is no longer viable. It's so easy to bring out Citadel Whale and get combos going. Even a few tech cards to stop them is all you need.
Actually it's quite possible for sylvans to beat SSA, if only by the virtue of removing all your monsters... In fact that might not even be necessary if the sylvan used Rose Lover and special summon the tree. But just because SSA is supposedly T2 doesn't mean it is bad. It's just that GameA consider it worse than Syvlan. Personally I think the tiers are subjective... everyone has a different list.
More and more people are not running two Cosmic Cyclones anymore because of Sylvan, and most SSA decks have at least two SSA cards. The only way Sylvan beats SSA is by virtue of bad hand. Abyss Warrior will take out sets and discard Fishborg to bring out Citadel Whale on turn two, and that only one combo choice! At that point it is almost impossible for a Sylvan victory. SSA 75% and Sylvan 25%.
Agree! SSA player here, turn 2 whale is a BEAST plus if you have early abyss warrior and whale to discard.. OMG. However, I find it a bit problematic that ULTIMATE PROVIDENCE(S) are being used against me after turn 1, so if I didn't play first and there's a Set card, I'm now cautious to use monster effects becaue it will leave my field open and very hard to recover from that onwards.
